To wZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MARoUs- MARKS, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of the city of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Sleeve- Protectors, of which the following isa specification, containing a full, clear, and exact description,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in sleeve-protectors; and itconsists of the novel arrangement and combination of parts herein shown,described, and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows my invention applied to the wearer readyfor use. Fig. 2 illustrates the method of putting on the same. Fig. 3 isa rear plan view when the device has been applied to the body of thewearer. Fig. 4 is a plan view. Fig. 5 is a plan view of a portion of theprotector, show ing the manner ofconstructing the sleeve portion ofsame.

The object of my invention is to construct a sleeve-protector adapted tocover the entire sleeve of the wearer and also the shoulder, and cut soas to fit neatly around the vestopening, whereby the entire sleeveand-shoulder is protected and a neat and attractive appearance isobtained.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates one sleeve portion, and 2 theother. Each of said sleeve portions is composed of two pieces ofmaterial 3 and 4, stitched together by means of stitching 5.

6 indicates a reinforced cuff portion which is attached to each sleeveby means of stitching 7. The portions 3 are provided with taperedextensions 8.

9 indicates a reinforcing strip or hem which use as illustrated in Figs.1 and 3, it will be u noticed that the entire sleeve and shoulder areprotected. In fact, all the portions of the shirt not covered by thevest are protected and concealed by the use of my sleeve-protector, and

by its use the coat may be dispensed with and the wearer of the sleevewill still present a neat appearance. I

When my invention is in use, the tapered portions 8 completely cover theshoulder, and the reinforced edges 9 fit around the armopenings in thevest.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is A sleeve-protector,comprising sleeve portions adapted to cover the sleeves; shoulderportions tapered from end to end and attached to said sleeve portionsadapted to cover the shoulders; and an elastic band secured to theadjacent reduced inner ends of said shoulder portions; substantially asspecified.
